Fresh details have emerged in the investigation into the firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, with Mumbai Police sources revealing that the accused allegedly conducted test-firing sessions at a location near Mumbai before the attack, and that a misfire occurred inside their hotel room in Andheri. The disclosures came during sustained interrogation of the accused, who are now at the centre of a rapidly expanding probe.

Weapon Test-Firing Before the Attack

According to Mumbai Police sources, the accused disclosed the location of their alleged practice session during questioning. One of the accused reportedly fired two rounds at the site, while the other fired one round, with both reportedly confirming the weapon was functional before the attack. Police are currently examining the alleged practice site and reconstructing the sequence of preparation.

Investigators also learnt that a misfire occurred while the weapon was being tested inside the accused's hotel room in Andheri. A bullet was reportedly discharged onto the bed during the incident. The episode apparently went unnoticed by hotel staff or anyone outside the room, raising questions about security protocols at the property.

Two More Arrests, Total Reaches 10

On Wednesday, 22 October 2025, Mumbai Police arrested two additional suspects in connection with the case, bringing the total number of arrests to 10. The two new accused were expected to be produced before a court in Sonipat, Haryana, for transit remand before being brought to Mumbai for further questioning. According to reports, both allegedly played a significant role in supplying the weapons linked to the incident. Investigators are probing their connections to the other accused and their alleged involvement in planning and execution.

Audio Threat Clip Under Scrutiny

In a parallel line of inquiry, investigators are examining an audio clip containing an alleged threat directed at Tiger Shroff. Officials plan to compare the voice in the recording with voice sample databases maintained by the Punjab and Delhi Police. These databases reportedly contain recordings of individuals allegedly associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, and separate collections are also maintained by police units in Rajasthan.

Notably, similar voice-verification procedures have previously been carried out in investigations linked to alleged threats received by actor Salman Khan, actor Aamir Khan, filmmaker Rohit Shetty, and the late politician Baba Siddique. The pattern points to a recurring modus operandi across high-profile threat cases involving Bollywood figures.

Broader Investigation Underway

Investigators are now piecing together the full chain of events — from weapon procurement and test-firing to the execution of the attack and the alleged threat communication. The multi-state nature of the arrests, spanning Maharashtra and Haryana, signals that the conspiracy is believed to have extended well beyond Mumbai. As the probe widens, all audio evidence and interrogation leads are being collated to establish the identities and roles of every individual allegedly involved.
